Finally did it! Yippeeeeeeeeee!


Fired my sponsor! LOL!


I'm just joking. No real joy here.


Got me a new sponsor. Finally. It had been suggested to me by many people to do this. I'm not acting on impulsive thoughts here.


I do feel good about this though. I believe I need to have an sponsor that can listen and not always preach at me and not to me.


Another chance to grow and learn. That's the way I look at it.


I am on a spiritual journey.


Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.


That's a tough one that I'm working on!


Hope you all had a good sober weekend and thankyou for your help through this helacious week.

I thought you where gonna tell us you got laid....
But that will work. I've got a good sponsor, but I've found that anyone, in or out of the program, I listen to or listens to me in an earnest conversation has 'sponsored' me, or I 'sponsored' them.

I needed to see this line again - "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."  It's been coming up for me a lot the last few weeks.  HOPE.  I need to meditatie on that,,  Step 11. 


God did that to me about JOY for a while some time ago.   I kept hearing and seeing things that said to be joyful, and that is really contrary to my upbringing, causing guilt and feeling strange to my normally depressed self. 


Now I guess I'm realizing how much I don't succeed because I don't have hope to succeed. People without hope don't try,,  why try if it is inevitably futile?   I thought I had faith,,,  but here it says faith is in things hoped for.   So I am trying to be more open to possibilities than I've been.  Like this meeting that is coming up.  Hope that the conflict will be resolved - if I let go and let God, and keep a positive attitude.


thanks,


love in recovery,


amanda
